Review of Disneyland Hotel

We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel from 2/28 to 3/4. Upon check in, we were selected as the E-Ticket Family of the day! This meant that we gained access to the E-Ticket Lounge that night for a viewing of the fireworks and some snacks/drinks.
It was just my husband and I so we had a king size bed. Overall, it was a very comfortable bed with fluffy pillows. The room was very large with plenty of room to stretch each night. We were on the fourth floor in Adventure Tower with a slight view of Downtown Disney (we did not pay for a premium view so this was more than acceptable).
We did not utilize the housekeeping while we were there as the room was in as clean of a condition as it could be upon check in and we just reused our towels to "save water" per the little request near the sink.
The design of this hotel is awesome. Each tower is themed after a different land. They all have detailed lobbies and the music even matches. It was perfect.
With Trader Sam's and Steakhouse 55 just steps away from our room we were in heaven.
The noise from DTD was a little loud but usually subsided by 10 or 11 - not a problem for us as we were too tired to be bothered by it.
It was kind of difficult to catch an elevator some mornings unless you are on a top floor as they go up first and then collect on the way down. Being on the fourth floor, it would have been better for us to just utilize a staircase but they didn't have one available for normal use (only a fire escape).
I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It was so worth it and so perfect!

The chef came out to discuss the gluten free options, he also brought gluten free waffles from the kitchen. There was a lot to stay away from on this buffet, but still great! Always fun getting in the park before it opens in the morning!
Pros:
Great food, great characters, early park entranceCons:

We had a reservation here for our first morning in Disneyland (we were staying at the Disneyland Hotel). We wanted convenience but didn't expect to completely fall in love with the food and service here. I ended up loving it so much that we booked a breakfast for three following mornings.
The coffee was perfect. The banana's foster pancakes and the huevos rancheros are to die for!
They take the Disney VISA discount here too which is great since it's not nearly at as many locations in Disneyland as it is in WDW.
Definitely a must do if you love breakfast!
Pros:
Delicious Food, Amazing Service, Great CoffeeCons:

We ate here in the early afternoon on the day we arrived at WDW. We shared the Grilled Banana Bread Sundae with Peanut Butter. It was really good. We were interested in trying the Boozy Shakes, or the Adult Root Beer Float, but decided on the sundae instead. I was happy with the decision.
Pros:
Sundaes, Decor, Alcoholic ShakesCons:

The Beach Club Villas at Disney is our favorite resort destination.
We have stayed at the Beach Club Villas every year for the past 10 years.
On our most recent visit (March 2016 )we were very impressed with the room renovations and updates.
In my opinion, staying at the Beach Club is the best part of a Disney Experience!!
Pros:
Best overall atmosphere and locationCons:

My wife and I split the Big Kahuna Breakfast with the Press Pot of coffee on our departure day. It was a great way to enjoy our last morning. Splitting the Big Kahuna was perfect for us. We got to try a bunch of different items from the menu. The Pancakes are very good. I might get those next time 🙂
Pros:
Good food. Great coffeeCons:

The Frittata was good. But the Espresso-Mascarpone Whipped Cream that topped the Waffle was SOOO good. I would put that in my coffee if I could.

Different food options. Press Pot coffeeCons:

Went to Club Villain on 3/1. This was, easily, the coolest event I have ever done at Disney. The Theme-ing of the space was perfect. The DJ was pumping some good tunes. The food was delicious. The special drinks were good but a little sweet. The villain meet and greets were so much fun. Cruella DeVille and the Queen of Hearts were both energetic and hilarious. Maleficent and the Evil Queen stuck to their characters. Even when the Fire Alarms went off during Dr Facelier's opening number, they just cleared the alarm and started over without missing a beat. I truly can't say enough god things about this event I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Pros:
CLUB VILLAIN!!! Great food, All you can eat and drink. MusicCons:

Had dinner reservations for 7, but got there at 6 and were seated immediately. The sushi was good and fresh and plenty of food. The Black Jack chicken sandwich was delicious. It was good bar food. I really liked to bowling alley, but we passed on bowling this time.
